The Polk County
Sheriff's Office on Monday arrested charged two middle school students with
felony aggravated stalking-or cyberbullying-in connection with the suicide of
12-year-old Rebecca Sedwick in Lakeland on September 10, 2013.

Katelyn Roman, 12,
and Guadalupe Shaw, 14, are accused of repeatedly and maliciously harassing
Sedgwick, from December 2012 to February 2013, according to their arrest
affidavits. The case drew worldwide attention after Sedgwick climbed a
tower on an abandoned cement plant in north Lakeland and jumped to her death
after changing her user name on a cell application to "That Dead
Girl."
